Chapter 384. 【Behind the scenes】

During this time, it is undoubtedly a happy for the global entertainment media, because Spielberg put forward a big movie challenge to Yi Feiyang, who is in the limelight, at the right time, for this rare Christmas "heads-up" of the century, so that these reporters can do a variety of eye-catching series of reports, and even use various review articles to earn eyeballs, because there are too many news to report, too many gimmicks to hype, and too many focuses to pay attention to. All in all, it's a happy moment, and it's undoubtedly a paradise for media entertainment.

Let's analyze, first of all, it is natural that the actors and actresses of "Happiness Terminal" joined, Spielberg got rid of other partner companies and let DreamWorks exclusively plan and shoot this film, the purpose is obvious, his ambition is very big, and the desire to win is very strong, so he must throw away all the chains to dance, and cannot be bound by other companies and other producers. It's just that this time he and Yi Feiyang will die, which is even more exciting!

As for Yi Feiyang, he has been silent and silent, but he didn't die in silence, he broke out in silence, and now this guy suddenly broke out, and he even said that he was going to start filming a new film! Oh my God, how long has it been since his last play? Could it be that his inspiration is like a mountain spring, never exhausted?!

Finally, what kind of wonderful chemical effect will there be when these two people are cleverly added together? The last time the two exchanged fire ended in a draw, but what about this time? What will happen? Spielberg's fans are looking forward to the movie hero in their minds to destroy Yi Feiyang; Yi Feiyang's loyal fans are looking forward to the idol in their hearts to pull Lao Si off the horse! What is certain is that this time there will never be another draw, there will definitely be a winner or a loser! As for who wins and who loses. Then leave it to fate!

During this time, the reporters suddenly felt that the space was insufficient. It was supposed to be before the end of the summer season. The "boom" of the film industry will gradually recede, but it is precisely because of the two topic makers Yi Feiyang and Spielberg that this "boom" has a tendency to intensify.

The smoke of the box office war in the summer has not yet dissipated, and everyone is already looking forward to Yi Feiyang, the undefeated mythical director of the box office, at the end of the year, to personally enter the battlefield and start an unprecedented Christmas competition!

In fact, this year's Christmas file is also very exciting, in addition to Yi Feiyang and Spielberg, there is also "Pentium Age" directed by British director Gary Jacks. and several big dramas such as "The Raging Sea" directed by Peter Weir.

Yi Feiyang's new film appeared so soon, and there is only one possibility, that is, he has been prepared for a long time to score a brace in the Christmas file, act as a dark horse again, and riveted his spirit to beat Spielberg, an old rival.

For most media, everyone is looking forward to Yi Feiyang's rise again and become a continuous miracle maker, so that everyone can not only enjoy a high-level Christmas movie, but also see the PK of the two super directors again.

Although everyone thinks that Yi Feiyang can't find any good works in such a short period of time. to compete with Spielberg and other great directors. But just thinking about the Chinese kid with an undefeated box office record, in the Christmas battle against Hollywood and the top directors of the British Gang, everyone feels a little excited!!

It's just a bad movie~ Hurry up and shoot it for us~!!

This situation is very strange, everyone knows that Yi Feiyang is not a god, just a person, inspiration and energy cannot be abundant forever, but everyone hopes that he can burst out with amazing energy again, and release bold words to start an all-out war with competitors.

In the face of the duel between the strong and the weak, people always instinctively want to support the weak side, not to mention that Yi Feiyang has always been a revolutionary who is famous in the film industry for his arrogance, whether it is fans or the media, or those who don't care about the film industry, almost everyone supports this arrogant director from China in their hearts.

This kind of atmosphere made James Cameron, the superstar director who was plotting to defeat Yi Feiyang behind his back, feel very uneasy, because he really couldn't think of what kind of movie Yi Feiyang could shoot to compete with Spielberg in such a tight time!

At the beginning, he instigated Spielberg to challenge Yi Feiyang again, from a tie to a duel, the purpose was to suppress Yi Feiyang's arrogance, but now, Cameron is a little frightened of Yi Feiyang's unpredictable creative energy!

However, Cameron is Cameron after all, and when he learned that things had developed to this point, he stabilized his emotions, and then made a phone call to his supporter behind the scenes, who has been hiding behind the seven major film companies, and the president of MGM and the gambling king of the world, Kirkrian.

talked about the current situation in detail, but Cameron still emphasized that everything is a floating cloud at present, and when his "Avatar" is officially launched, it will dominate the world!

That's right, the investor of this timeless "Avatar" is MGM's Kirkrian.

As the gambling king of the world, Kirklian has always been interested in gambling and has little interest in movies. However, the failure of several consecutive filming made Kirkrian, who had only won but not tasted defeat, angry, and also made him determined to officially dominate the film industry.

As for the film industry, Kirkrian's biggest goal, or interest, is to be able to get the young company Dream Entertainment and bring Yi Feiyang, a film elite, under his command. In Kirkrian's view, as long as he planned it properly, he could achieve this dream. Imagine what it would be like for MGM to officially annex the most promising fantasy entertainment? What kind of praise will he get for his gambling king, Kirkrian?!

Out of such ambitions, the gambling king Kirkrian hit it off with Cameron, both of them are careerists, and they both regard Yi Feiyang as an enemy, so the enemy of the enemy is a friend, not to mention, one of the two is talented, the other is rich, and they will be able to do earth-shattering things when they hit it off.

After the phone call, like Cameron, Kirklian was also a little uneasy about Yi Feiyang's actions.

Yi Feiyang obviously didn't make much of a move, but Kirk still felt very anxious, and this anxiety had no actual reason, just because Yi Feiyang had created miracles again and again. No matter how much advantage your side has. There is a feeling of trepidation.

"Shouldn't we be doing anything? This kid is going to make a fuss again. I see that public opinion is on his side. Kirklian called to ask about his ally, who was also Sony boss Akio Morita, who had been hostile to Yi Feiyang.

Last time, Sony-Paramount was forced to sell by Dream Entertainment, and Akio Morita was even more bruised and swollen, and lost face. Afterwards, the Japanese learned to be obedient, and when he learned that the gambling king Kirklian wanted to deal with fantasy entertainment, Akio Morita wasted no time in coming over and acting as an ally and a dog-headed military advisor. There is only one purpose, to see Yi Feiyang unlucky, to see the collapse of Dream Entertainment, or to be annexed! Of course, in such a process, in addition to being able to enjoy the pleasure of revenge ~ feeling, you can also get great benefits, you must know that the gambling king Kirkrian is not the kind of stingy person.

After listening to Kirkrian's "troubles", Akio Morita, who turned from a dog-headed military advisor and temporarily acted as a psychiatrist, comforted him: "Don't worry too much. Dear Kirk, now we are not going to do anything. Everything we do is to help him do publicity, in this regard, we are in the dark, he is in the light, he has a natural advantage, but it doesn't matter, no matter how big a wave he makes, the final decision on the fate of the fantasy entertainment company or his work, I don't think he can come up with any good works in such a short period of time, even if there is, it is not too late for us to act. Akio Morita still maintained that calm and composure, as if he had expected all this.

But no matter how confident Akio Morita was, Kirklian and James Cameron couldn't help but sit nervously in front of the TV on this day, waiting for the live broadcast of ACM's press conference.

"James, what do you think this Yi Feiyang can come up with?" Kirk grimaced and asked the super director beside him.

"If he wants to win in a short period of time, he has to shoot a big movie related to Christmas for now......" Cameron looked at the TV with confidence, "like last year's "Christmas Elf", and "Santa Bean" and so on, these themes are more able to attract the audience......

"But, this is an unconventional guy, will he shoot other subjects?" Kirk asked in a heavy tone.

"Anything else? It's also possible! Cameron said, "If I were him, I might have gone off the rails and made a movie that would attract people's attention or cause controversy, so I would have saved a lot of time for publicity, but the risk would also increase, in short, there would be pros and cons!" Cameron took a sip of red wine and drank it fiercely, and after speaking, both of them fell into silence, just waiting for this Yi Feiyang press conference to start, they both felt very strange in their hearts, it was obviously just a simple press conference, why were they so nervous? It seems that Yi Feiyang will turn defeat into victory as long as he films......

It seems that even if it is a bad movie, just hanging "Yi Feiyang" in the title will give them unspeakable huge pressure......

On the other hand, there is also a low pressure within the Dream Entertainment Company, and Dures, who is in charge of the company's general affairs, almost fainted directly after learning that the Christmas movie shot by Yi Feiyang turned out to be an erotic film.

I'm stuck, what's the joke?

Christmas is here, how can you make erotic films and make those parents who are ready to take their children to see your new work embarrassed?!

However, it seems that Yi Feiyang never missed it.

Dures also had that kind of inexplicable trust in him, and he really wanted to slap himself in the face, plus now that he had to send it, he had already said that he was going to develop a conference, so he couldn't cancel it temporarily.

Therefore, there is no way, now I can only bite the bullet, after announcing the upcoming press conference, Dures has to receive countless calls every day to inquire about the news of the new film of the press conference, everyone is curious about what kind of hole cards Yi Feiyang can come up with, Dures can only pretend to be mysterious to the reporter who came to ask:

"Don't worry, Edward, you will know the answer at the press conference tomorrow, keep the front page, I believe you won't be disappointed~~"

"Mike, wait until the press conference to find out, this is definitely a pleasant surprise......"

Surprise...... In fact, for Dures, it is more accurate to describe it as frightened, a guy with a rough nerve like him was also taken aback by Yi Feiyang's decision, could it be said that dear Yi is ready to let the whole people "erect ~" on Christmas Day?

Someone couldn't help but smile wryly.

……

28 September 2003.

On this day, Dream Entertainment is about to convene the media for an unprecedented press conference.

The reason why it is unprecedented is that the press conference of Dream Entertainment is generally not very big and not too grand, and the reason is that Yi Feiyang likes to be "low-key". But this time it was different. The whole conference was very grand. Not only were journalists from all over the United States invited. Journalists from Europe and Asia were also invited.

On the day of the press conference, when Dures pushed open the door of the president's office of Dream Entertainment Company in Los Angeles and was about to issue a press release, Yi Feiyang also pushed open the door of the Hilton Hotel News Center accompanied by a group of people.

From the moment Yi Feiyang walked through the door, the flash flashed non-stop. Turning his head to look at the dense reporters below, he even saw the reporters in the entertainment Xintiandi under his control, on occasions like this, of course, he has to arrange some of his own people, this is Yi Feiyang's consistent style, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Behind the dense crowd of text reporters, there are long guns and short guns of cameras and cameras, and you can see reporters of different colors and colors with press cards with different national flags on their chests, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least 300 reporters in this hall......

This is much more powerful than when he announced that he was going to shoot "Iron Man", which is also because Dream Entertainment has produced "Iron Man" continuously. "I Am Legend", the achievements of "The Walking Dead" in the world realm. I have accumulated so many works in the director's industry, and I am already a real character.

Of course, among these dense reporters, there are a lot of supporters for him, and at the same time, there are many media controlled by the seven major groups to defeat him in person, this is a stage for the media in the world, and he stands here to make that remark that is ready to make the headlines of tomorrow's media, whether it is good or bad, it is determined by his words and deeds now......

In the future, there will be more reporters with magnifying glasses watching you every day, if there is something that is not done well in your movie. A tsunami of criticism will soon flood you.

These media outlets, when they need your news, can either put you in heaven overnight or send you to hell in a second after your movie fails.

In the continuous flashing lights and shutter sounds of "pop" and "pop", Yi Feiyang walked to the front of the stage and looked at these black-pressed reporters, as if they were the notorious Captain Jack of "Pirates of the Caribbean", standing on the judgment platform in Navy Square, those soldiers with guns, aiming at him in all directions, just waiting for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow, then swarmed up, and took his body to get the government reward.

Yi Feiyang looked at them and reminded himself in his heart - no matter what, he couldn't give them such a chance, this is why he has been forcing himself to be a winner, not a loser.

In the private mansion, the gambling king Kirkrian and the great director Cameron stared at the TV screen and looked at Yi Feiyang in the picture. They are no strangers to this kind of scene, this kind of new film press conference is commonplace, and many companies will hold it, but seeing Yi Feiyang's Gu Pan Zixiong looking here at this moment, as if staring at himself through the screen, both of them have a feeling of hair.

It seemed that Yi Feiyang had already known that they were sitting in front of the TV, and Kirk couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably angry in his heart, he had been in the gambling world and the business world for so long, but he would have a kind of fear of this hairy boy...... It's a weird feeling.

And at this moment, everyone is looking forward to Yi Feiyang to speak, whether they hate him or like him.

From beginning to end, this press conference has not revealed any news about the new film, which makes everyone feel that they are scratched by something.

"Next, I would like to invite our director Yi Feiyang to speak for you." The fat man Jack, who was the master of ceremonies, greeted him with a few words of greeting and then motioned to Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang nodded to everyone and leaned in front of the microphone: "First of all, I want to thank you here!" I am delighted to have all of you present at this press conference. Yi Feiyang finally spoke, he looked at the expectant reporters in the audience, and suddenly remembered what he faced at the first press conference when he officially filmed his first film.

At that time, everyone was amazed by his youth, as well as his identity as a Chinese director, and he saw doubt, surprise, confusion, and of course, ridicule and disdain in the eyes of reporters.

And now, six years later, in such a bad situation, he can still see doubts, but he is no longer the majority, obviously, he has gone too fast, shot so many excellent movies, created so many box office miracles, and won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Film, and now he has long been famous all over the world, but even so, he still hasn't conquered these Hollywood people, and he still doesn't look at him, doubting that he, a Chinese director who has always "made a fortune by luck", can come up with a work that overwhelms the crowd.

For most reporters, today's press conference, they are all to see how they create topics, because wherever he goes, where is full of all kinds of fun and controversy, they have a lot of questions, they want to know how to react to the current situation, whether to bow their heads and surrender, or rise up again, let everyone know that Hollywood is not their white world, and Chinese can also be kings and hegemons!
